As we mentioned earlier in this article, certain ingredients may be the most beneficial for scar healing or for reducing the appearance of scars.

Silicone gels such as Keto-Cote scar gel, are an effective treatment used to reduce the colour, shape and size of scars as well as soothing irritation caused by the skin healing.

At first, many scars will be raised above the skin but some will flatten out over time, creating a flat scar that often blends in with the color of your skin. People often don’t feel the need to treat these scars since they are already flush with their skin, but if you want your scar to blend in better with your skin color, a treatment containing allantoin or onion extract may affect the pigmentation of your scar.

There are several factors that determine how long a scar will last, and how prominent it will be: “The biggest player in how someone heals is genetics — some people just heal better than others,” says Dr. Rogers. The severity of the initial injury can also have an effect on how long the scar lasts. But Dr. Rogers adds that you can help that mark fade away faster with proper scar care. This may be achieved and supported by various ingredients, including medical-grade silicone.
